blan89 159 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I think it will happen sooner or later,we've pretty much lost all sense of community and any way to defend ourselves so imo it would be chaos,criminals who have guns would have free reign completely un-opposed to rob/rape/murder whoever they want. and as technology develops there will be less chance of survival with easier accessibility to thermal imaging technology (you'll be the only big white blob in the woods if thats were you hide) I think sparsely populated places would be slightly better off,in rural in Scotland for example it wouldnt be worth traveling there using ammo etc just for a few tartan skirts and some shortbread. so maybe they could wait it out until the animals learn how to rule themselves again.

scalesntails 118 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I don't think things would change much. If theft, rape, murder were legal or you knew you would get away with it would you do it? Most people still wouldn't unless they had absolutely no other option. With regards to thieves you get 2 types. You get the ones that are desperate and just do it as they see no other way to survive and you get scumbags that don't care about others. With no police around I don't think the scumbags would last long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I admire your faith in human nature & how you think we could self police in the absence of government, but IMO it wouldn't be long before the stronger willed among us started grouping together & dictating what was best for the rest of society. That's how rule started in the first place. There will always be leaders and followers, it's human nature. All men are equal, but some are more equal than others! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How would your group work? For a group of individuals to resist another group of individuals intent on ordering you about there would have to be a organised chain of command within your group. In other words, unless you were the person at the top of the chain of command, you'd still have to do what you were told! It's all very well thinking that a group of individuals can have some sort of mutual help agreement on individually equal terms, but what would happen if a small number of these individuals decided to pick and choose when & where to act? Your whole system & community would then be vulnerable to any other organised group intent on taking control. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blan89 159 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 imo it would take an event like the government collapsing to wake people up,then everyone has the right to rule themselves as long as they stick to common law or a similar set of clearly defined laws,if they dont then they may be arrested by anyone tried (by an elected person) and executed if found guilty. their possessions go to the one who arrested them,which is the incentive to catch criminals.

mackem 30,055 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 their possessions go to the one who arrested them,which is the incentive to catch criminals. Its also an incentive to stitch people up F*ck this,if the UK collapses into a lawless free-for-all like Somalia you can all go and claim asylum in the states or Australia or NZ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
